Being together to do something together:
As representatives of the values of naturism, the members of the Club Naturiste de Bélézy
Provence meet regularly to practise various activities. I n Summer the Domaine de Bélézy
welcomes them, thus allowing them to take advantage of its equipments in a beautiful
site nested in the foothills of Mont Ventoux. The club and the domain have been
collaborating harmoniously since 1970.
The knitting workshop:
Its purpose is to bring together knitters of both
sexes for a common purpose leading to a
collective work.
In 2014 an exceptional work was carried out: a
"coat" was knitted for the 2CV of Pascal and
Madelon Leclère, who run the Domaine de
Bélézy.
The coat of the 2CV (or "of the deudeuche", as
we say in French!)
Over 120 different people have taken part in
this work. 250 different pieces were knitted, 8
kgs of wool were used – the equivalent of 160
balls of wool.
All the holiday-makers in the Domain w ere
inv ited to join in, irrespective of whether they
were club members or not.
Many gave wool that they no longer needed,
thus giving it a second lease of life. Others
bought balls of wool and gave them to the
club.
While the coat was being made, the interest
for this project never decreased at Bélézy. The
2CV being gradually coated was a focus point
for all; innumerable smiles, countless photos
and numerous words of encouragement bear
testimony to this.
The result is absolutely spectacular!
Spreading the naturist word:
The coated 2CV was exhibited twice in
the v illage of Bedoin, where it became
a focal point for all and made it easy
for us to start talking about naturism.
On those occasions we were able to
explain the reasons for naturism, to
describe our naturist values, and to talk
of the Fédération Française de
Naturisme, of our club, and of the
Domaine de Bélézy.
The Club Naturiste de Bélézy Provence,
helped and supported by the
Domaine de Bélézy, hopes to take
adv antage of this interest in order to
spread the naturist word beyond the
borders of France.
The coated 2CV as an ambassador of
naturist values:
The club and the Domaine de Bélézy,
with the support of the Fédération
Française de Naturisme, are jointly organizing an adv enture-raid in 2015
which will take the 2CV to Torun, Poland, for the I nternational Meeting of
2CV Friends. The car will be our ambassador to those who love the 2CV, a
car whose values are close to ours.
For the motto of 2CV lovers is that the
2CV is not only a car, but a style of life.
Naturists can recognize themselves in
this motto, since naturism too is a lifestyle.
A human adventure:
So as to establish links betw een a large number of
European naturists we wish
to stop overnight all along
the 4,000 km of our journey
in naturist clubs or resorts.
Welcome us:
We are hoping to be accommodated every night
in naturist structures. After
contact was established by
the Fédération Française
de Naturisme or by the International Naturist Federation, some have already
agreed to accommodate
us. But we still have not arranged accommodation
for some of the nights.
Please get in touch if you
are willing to accommodate us, and thus be part
of this great adventure.
Join us:
This journey is not only for members of our Club. You can
join us to accompany the 2CV either for the whole of the
journey or for part of it, and thus take part in this human
adv enture. Let us know if this is of interest to you. You can
either help to drive the 2CV or travel independently in your
ow n vehicle. We will come together at meeting points for
unique moments of sharing and being together around
the 2CV. We already have a number of people who are
ready to drive the 2CV: please register quickly, and follow
the list of those who are registering, at: http://www.cnbp.eu/
pages/voyage-a-torun-pour-la-2cv-de-bel ezy/
The cost of the journey:
We are paying for the expenses of the drivers of the 2CV
(one driver and one co-driver), but other participants are
expected to cover the cost of their own journey (fuel, accommodation, food etc.). We are unable at the moment
to say how much accommodation w ill cost, as this will depend upon the offers made by the clubs and resorts that
welcome us.
1 euro = 1 km
Support us:
This adv enture-raid is a participatory project.
Money is tight. We need the help of naturists
from all over the world in order to be able to
make it. Any help will be welcome.
For our part, we will be carrying wine from
our beautiful home region at the foot of
Mont Ventoux so that we can share a drink in
a friendly atmosphere every night.
Budget:
We need between 4 and 5,000 euros to cover the costs: registering with the I nternational
Meeting of 2CV Friends, fuel for the 2CV, food and accommodation for the driver and
co-driver of the 2CV, wine to be shared on the way, telephone bills, internet, promotion,
insurance etc.
We wish to thank those who have already helped financially: the Domaine de Bélézy
Provence, the Cave Coopérative de Bedoin, the Fédération Française de Naturisme,
France 4 Naturisme, Patrick Llorca, the Garage des Lavandes in Bedoin.
We still need money. We have therefore launched a campaign, and we thank those
who have already participated. You can send cheques (French cheques only) to CNBP,
and post them to our postal box (CNBP, BP 20012, 84410 Bedoin, France), mentioning on
the back of the cheque "projet 2CV".
Bank transfers should be to IBAN FR08 20041010 0815 7647 8C02982
